Study Notes
Number Properties
- Commutative Property: The order of the numbers does not affect the result of the operation.
- Example: 5 + 2 = 2 + 5
- Associative Property: The grouping of numbers does not affect the result of the operation.
- Example: 5 × (6 × 10) = (5 × 6) × 10
- Additive Identity Property: Adding zero to any number results in the original number.
- Example: 2 + 0 + 0 + 2 = 2
- Multiplicative Identity Property: Multiplying any number by 1 results in the original number
- Example: 5 × 1 = 5
- Additive Inverse Property: Adding a number to its negative inverse results in zero.
- Example: 5 + (-5) = 0
- Multiplicative Inverse Property: Multiplying a number by its reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) results in 1.
- Example: 5 × (1/5) = 1
Number Types
- Natural Numbers: Counting numbers starting from 1 (1, 2, 3, ...)
- Whole Numbers: Natural numbers including zero (0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
- Integers: All positive and negative whole numbers (-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
- Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction p/q where p and q are integers and q is not zero.
- Example: 1/2, 3/4, -5/7
- Can be represented as terminating or repeating decimals.
- Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as fractions.
- Example: π , √2
- Can be represented as non-terminating and non-repeating decimals.
- Real Numbers: All rational and irrational numbers.
Decimal Fractions
- Terminating Decimal: A decimal that ends after a finite number of digits.
- Example: 0.123
- Recurring Decimal: A decimal where one or more digits repeat infinitely.
- Example: 0.111....
- Non-terminating and Non-recurring Decimal: A decimal that never ends and does not have a repeating pattern.
- Example: 3.14159265...
